  1. Except that's, um, pretty much what they've been saying though. They've been saying England and Scotland/Wales would top the group.
  2. Any thoughts on friendly opponents leading up to the Cup? Italy has to be on speed dial.
  3. Apparently, you can't air condition the entire atmosphere of the Earth?
  4. The federation really fucked Berhalter at the beginning when they had an interim coach Sarachan for 14 wasted months. Record for Sarachan? 3 wins 4 draws and 5 losses for a winning percentage of 41.67%. Berhalter has a record of 33, 6, and 8; he has an historic winning percentage for the US at 76.6%. The aforementioned unbeaten streak against Mexico is nice as well. I think this team will fucking kill at the world cup.
  5. Spouting Truth
  6. Holy fuck, Reyna is going to be around another 15 years doing these things, lol. Referencing the above as well as the ridiculous slaloming run that I have watched about 50 times, and don't forget his elite shit-housing he's prepared to unleash when needed.
  7. I would much rather have a Swiss League legend in the lineup. But we'll have to make do with Zimmerman and Robinson at center back, a pairing that hasn't lost to Mexico in 7 games, MLS lifers. Yedlin, at right back, is an MLS lifer, except for him being legendary at Newcastle, Sunderland, and Galatasaray, now back in a shitty MLS side. Kellen Acosta was one of the best players on the pitch, MLS lifer. Not to mention, Zack Steffen, Tyler Adams, and Pepe started in MLS. MLS gives a much higher floor for the US than it had 20 years ago. I predict we start Ferrera, Roldan, and Arriola and fucking slaughter Panama on Sunday.
  8. This is the correct response and, hilariously, I'm almost always pessimistic in every other aspect of life.
  9. Fuck, it's a chicken or the egg thing with the talent in this league. If you don't have a major infusion of tv cash you have to live with this slow and unsatisfying growth. Hopefully Amazon throws a billion at MLS for an investment.
  10. Especially because Morris is really still coming back from injury and isn't in any kind of form.
  11. Yea, I have no problem having him in the group and agree he does not fit the profile of a target man up top.
  12. You are going to replace Weah or Pulisic? Or just have him in the squad as a backup winger?
  13. Has Sargent showed you something that everyone else is missing? We have plenty of strikers who can't put the ball in the back of the net. Do we really need another?
  14. Lletgett has actually been playing well this year...until last night; glad no call up.
  15. Possession was there for the taking and they were just giving it away; they weren't even trying to counter attack with the little possession they had, just booted it as far as they could, just ridiculous.
  16. This loss is all on Arena. If you score one goal, then Pumas has to score 5 to beat you. And he just bunkers for 90 minutes despite it being even in possession in the home leg. Pumas is going to have more possession at home, but everyone was just hoofing it up rather than make wide open, routine 10 yard passes. Fucking retarded. I mean, you are probably going to give up goals to a Mexican team when they are home, so you have to fucking assault their goal to get that first one. Just high pressure craziness. It does not fucking matter if you give up one or two goals as long has you get yours. Holy fuck, moronic. Should not have gone to penalty kicks.
  17. I've been Team Jimenez since early last year. Lima probably has the edge on pure defending, but Jimenez is a much better on the attack. Jiminez is a 12 year MLS vet, has played 201 regular season games with a whopping total of 7 goals, averaging less than a goal a year. I think we can manage without his offensive prowess. I think I like Lima better when healthy (he had the hammy last year).
  18. yep, second in the league in possession and last in goals; expected goals was top five as well
  19. Bill Little is your dad?
  20. Galadriel was Elrond's mother-in-law. Neither of these looks like my mother-in-law which is nice.
  21. He had a career 7 catches for 69 yards in the NFL. I was pleasantly shocked out of my fucking mind when he allegedly made that catch in the horse shoe.
  22. I've had the dumb fuck on ignore for a very long time; do yourself a favor.
  23. 'Husky Tom Herman with a heart of gold' is how I always describe you, sir.
